Abstract excerpt
Bilateral frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP) is a rare genetic disease characterized by cortical malformation associated with GPR56 mutations of frameshift, splicing, and point mutations (Science 303:2033). All the missense point mutations are located in the regions predicted to be exposed at the cell surface, e.g. the N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), the proteolytic site (GPS), and the extracellular...
